Map Range
The RNG +/- Button on the right of the EFD1000/500 MFD display is used to zoom in or
out (respectively) to display more or less of the map. The pilot can select map ranges
from 0.5 to 2000 nautical miles, incrementing one range value with each press of the
RNG +/- button. The current map range is shown as a numeric value on the lower left of
the Navigation Map VIEW
(
Figure 5-6
).
Change the Map Range
•
Press the RNG +/- Button until the desired map range is acquired. Press the
RNG + Button to increase map range. Press the RNG - Button to decrease map
range.
The EFD1000/500 MFD has an Auto-Range feature that automatically scales the range
(to the closest range setting) to two times the distance between the ownship and the
active waypoint, i.e. if the active waypoint is 84 miles away, auto-range will go to 200
nm (84x2=168, closest range setting is 200). When Auto-Range is active an inverted
white A displays next to the numeric range value (
Figure 5-7
).
